Quantcast



By all accounts from those who got to play it on the show floor, Mortal Kombat is a return to the series' glory days. I mean, the reactions I've heard from fans of the 2D MK games have been absolutely ecstatic -- they're worse than I am at containing emotions!

With excitement levels so high, what better time to check in with executive producer and series co-creator Ed Boon? Hell, any time is a good time to check in with him, if you ask me.

Topics discussed include the recent trend of developers bringing back our favorite franchises, "fatality meetings," and that infamous proof-of-concept movie trailer we all got such a kick out of.

Awesome.
Ed Boom is a living legend to me, and Mortal Kombat shall never die.
I couldn't be happier with how absurdly cool the new MK looks (and seems to play).

I would say that just like in the early 90's it has come to shake Street Fighter throne all over agains.
A long shot guess, but I know you guys also want it to happen

This is probably Rey's best interview yet. I learned a lot, and it's great to see the game rolling without WB giving restrictions.

I treid my hand at Street Fighter 4 and was just a shite at it as i was when I was a kid.

However, when I was a kid I used to rock the Mortal Kombat! - Could never do fatalities though :(

So I'm pretty super stoked about this game, pretty super stoked.

Just dont milk the DLC too much. I would like to see those extra fatalities, I remember that after a while the single or the several fatalities get really old and me and my friens use to think about new fatalities for the characters and such, I think if the listen to the fans, really cool things could happen here.

I really have high expectations for this game, but if they put a price tag on moves, that's where you have to draw the line. Rey had a kinda good idea, but instead of making them characters, they should be alternate costumes, I know it won't happen but still...
